A Cure for Cholera Infantum.

"Last May," says Mrs. Curtis Maker, of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our neighbor's was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. 1 took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling thepi 1 fell sure it would do good if used according to directions. tn two day’s time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I have recommended this Remedy frequently and have never known it to fail in any single instance." For sale bv Long.

Mrs. Giazbrook Passes Away.

M rs. Minerva Sinclair Glazebrook was born in Putnam county. Indiana March 15, 1828. and died at Renssselaer. Ind , August 8. 1901, aged 73 years, 1 months. 24 days She became a member of the M. E. church at the age of 12. Was married to Alfred Glazebrook, Oct. 13, 1846, and three children were born to them, viz Lee Emzy, Isaac and Viola, all of whom survive her and are residents of this community. She was the oldest of the family of eight children of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Sinclair, but leaves only three brothers of advanced years, the eldest being Lee Sinclair, manager of the far-famed West Baden Springs. Since the sudden death of her husband, 18 years ago, her life has been one of physical and mental torture, the shock being too much fbr her strength. She for a time lost control of her mental faculties, but after a few years partially regained them, hut never wholly. She had many friends, all of whom understood her peculiar manner, sympathized with her and loved her. She was familiarly known as “Gran” nnd this she desired to be called. Although her sufferings were intense at times, she was blest in having one of the most untiring, uncomplaining nnd cheerful personage’s in caring for her with almost more than human tenderness for about 15 years, gratifying her in every way possible, and this was her only daughter, Miss Viola. The family have lived in Rensselaer for fourteen years.and words cannot be found to express the self-sacriticing r.nd amiable spirit of Miss Viola towards her afflicted mother, but all who know her commend her greatly nnd she had the sympathy of tlie entire community. The eldest son, Lee E. Glazebrook, who has resided soveral miles in the country, Imih also shown his devotion by his regular weekly visits at his mothers liedside - unless prevented by sickness. Mrs. Glazebrook had had throe strokes of paralysis, the last occuring 26 months ago, since which time she has been confined to her bed. She frequently had very nervous attacks, but her last sickness was of only a few days duration and her death was a surprise to her many friends. The remains were taken Friday a. m., to Cloverdnle, Putnam Co., where she was born, raised and married, and laid to rest by the side of her husband. Her son, Lee E., nnd daughter \ iola, accompanied the remains to their lant resting place.

HER FATHER STILL LIVES

Although Mourned as Dead for the Past Forty Years. Edmond B. Appleton, after having been mourned as dead for the past 40 years, is located by his daughter, Mrs. Frances E. Hickman of this city. The discovery that he still lives 'ind later his whereabouts came about in a very unique manner. It appears that Mrs. Hickman, acting upon the advice of friends, had applied for an orphan’s pension, for the period during which she was entitled to same, supposing that her father was killed in the second year of the war. The papers were placed on file in the pension bureau and in the researches made by the officials of that department, they learned that a man bearing the same name and description was now drawing a pension and living in Lockesburg, Arkansas. The news was immediately communicated to Mrs. Hickman and she wrote to the address given, under the guise of her present name, asking for information concerning his family, and the reply which was promptly sent, proved to her beyond a doubt, that her father was alive and well. An urgent invitation to visit his daughter at this place was the outcome of the affair. It will be remembered that sometime ago, Mrs. Hickman learned of the whereabouts of her brother, Rev. L B. Appleton, after 30 years separation, and he spent sometime with the family here during the past year, but is now pastor of a church in Elkhart. He has been informed, by letter, j of the news concerning his father. The separation of tlie family came about in the following wiy: j During the first year of the war, j her father, Mr. Edward Appleton, 1 enlisted and went into active ser- | vice and in 1862, news came to his family, then at their old home in Ohio, that he had been killed in battle. In a short time after this, Mrs. Appleton died, leaving the children to shift for themselves. Mrs. Hicktnan together with a sister were placed in an orphans’ home in Dayton. Ohio, the former being taken later by a John Ogden and adopted as his daughter. Mr. Ogden later moved from | Dayton to Urbann. Ohio. In this j manner the balance of the fnmily drifted to different parts of the : United States, finally ending in an 1 almost entire separation of some ; members of the family. Mrs. Hickman has only had ! the one letter, thus far, from her j father, but it is supposed that he returned home at the close of the war, only to find it broken up entirely and the whereal)outs of his )children unknown.

To Form Militia Company.

Arrangements are being tnader to organize a state militia company in Rensselaer, and about 72’’ names have already been secured to the muster roll, which has beer*, sent to the Adjutant-General. DrIra M. Washburn has had the matter in hand and will probably be captain of the company, whiebt will be duly organized and officered. The company will consist of about 80 men, and it is estimated, will receive about $1,200 per year. This money, with the consent of the memhers, will be applied toward building an armory and equipping the gymnasium,, which will be a part thereof. State militia are equipped and maintained at State expense and receive pay for drills, rifle practice, etc., and when in service they receive $2 per day, which they also receive when attending the annual encampment. About the only prospective service is the latter and possibly a call occasionally to assist the trusts in subduing labor. Following are the names of those who signed the muster rollr George Robinson Fred Parcels Ross Hawkins Bruce Hardy Theodore George Thomas Hoyes Newton Humphrey Charles Risling Edward Catt Leopold Tuteur Bert Goff Earl Duvall Julian Hopkins Ray Collins George Healey Moses I^opold Gurney lessen Frank Kressler Frank McCarthy Grant Rishling Orland Grant Denver Miller Vern Robinson Zern Wright True Woodworth Harry Whiting Van Grant Guss Grant Vern Shock John Ramey Carl Wood Delos Coen William Barkley Rufus Knox.
